Hasegawa 49608 - 1/700 U.S. Battleship Alabama waterline kit

This is a 1/700 scale waterline plastic model kit representing the U.S. battleship Alabama and positioned within Hasegawa's waterline series.

The real USS Alabama (BB-60) entered service during World War II and operated in the Pacific theater. Commissioned in the early 1940s, she supported convoy escort and shore bombardment missions and received multiple battle recognitions before postwar decommissioning. The ship is preserved as a museum vessel in Mobile, Alabama, and serves as a primary reference for external profile, superstructure arrangement, and wartime fittings.

For model builders and collectors the kit provides a focused representation of the ship's external form suitable for display in a waterline setup. Assembly follows conventional plastic model methods; builders typically address seam lines, paint layering, and rigging to enhance scale realism. Reference photographs or preserved-ship visits can help verify wartime configurations and paint schemes during finishing.

A compact waterline representation of a historically significant U.S. battleship, intended for display and finish work by builders seeking an accurate external silhouette at 1/700 scale.
